A Stormy Blue Marble
Look at this beautiful planet! This video was compiled from data relayed by the Himawari satellite during October of 2017. The satellite is in a geostationary orbit, meaning it stays above the western Pacific all the time as it orbits at the same rate that the earth rotates. Meanwhile, day turns to night and again to day, and weather systems move along the earth's surface.
Dog Builds a Snowman
When the snow conditions are just right, the classic way to build a snowman is to roll up a ball of snow, and then another, like the video game Katamari Damacy. YouTuber ImDranzR caught his border collie doing just that a couple of weeks ago.
Don't even know how he got it started, nobody but him and my other dog been in the back gardenBorder collies are smart. I bet he saw someone do this on TV. But he's not really thinking of a snowman; he's just excited to have a big ball to play with! I sure wish we'd caught the beginning of this adventure. (via Tastefully Offensive)
Chadwick Boseman Surprises Black Panther Fans
This is a touching segment featuring Black Panther fans on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It was touching for Chadwick Boseman (who plays the superhero), too. If you haven't seen Black Panther, what are you waiting for? It was awesome.

Double Rainbow Unicorn Apple Pie
Here's a cooking video that you'll enjoy watching all the way through even if you have no intention of ever making the recipe. Anne Reardon of How to Cook That manages to make individual-size apple custard pies with rainbow stripes on the crust! If you want to give it a try, read the complete recipe with amounts (in weight, not volume). Meanwhile, I'm thinking about how I could use those rainbow discs for the top crust of a regular size pie.

Literal Movie Soundtracks
This is a truly weird idea. Mehdi, also known as DrMachakil, found movie scenes and songs that contained the exact same line, and mashed them together. The result... uh, it's weird, too, but it sometimes works strangely well. When it doesn't, well, its still strange. I hope he does a follow up with more of these when he finds them.

What is The True Nature of Reality?
Kurzgesagt released a video today that takes a serious look at reality. As in string theory. Yeah, quantum physics and string theory are scary words to hear, but this video gives a simple overview that makes it seem easy to understand. I said "seem," because you can go much deeper and leave confused. In a nutshell, the answer to "What is the true nature of reality?" is a resounding "We don't know!" (via reddit)
